  Rita Moreno acknowledged America Ferrera's monologue in Barbie at the Academy Awards. One of the highlights of Greta Gerwig's Barbie is when Gloria (America Ferrera) delivers a monologue on the impossible double standards of being a woman. Gloria's full monologue from Barbie (2023): It is literally impossible to be a woman.  You are so beautiful and so smart,  and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough.  Like, we have to always be extraordinary,  but somehow we're always doing it wrong.

We can be happy and sad at the same time.  Key to unravelling this mystery is to understand  the fact that the 'opposites' we are thinking about  are not actually opposites but just two states of mind that we can simultaneously experience in the same moment. We humans are complex beings and the simple interesection of   logic and emotions gives rise to most complicated mental scenarios.  So don't take things way too seriously. Live in the moment.  Don't be overwhelmed by thhe multitude ...
